TVRI's use of Indonesian

TVRI's use of Indonesian

From Kompas

Inaccuracies occur in TVRI's usage of Indonesian, while the
station recommends to its viewers to use the language correctly.

One example is "Cuaca beberapa kota di Indonesia", which
appears during the weather forecast segment of the news.
According to the Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia, "beberapa" denotes
an uncertain number, more than two but just a few.

In the weather forecast segment, however, the number of cities
quoted numbers around 30. "Beberapa kota" should be replaced by
"kota-kota" or "berbagai kota", meaning "various cities".
